The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her on the doorstep of a New York City orphanage in the 1930’s. Confident that “the sun will come out tomorrow,” she finds a new home with billionaire Oliver Warbucks and his personal secretary, Grace — but will the cruel Miss Hannigan get in their way of becoming a family? 

Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Annie JR. features memorable songs like “Hard-Knock Life,” “You’re Never Fully Dressed without a Smile,” and “Tomorrow.”

Music by Charles Strouse, Lyrics by Martin Charnin, Book by Thomas Meehan
